Just bouncing around in there

Tomorrow we get a third ultrasound. Dr. B is 80% sure Babycue's head is where it should be, but he said the baby is "bouncing around" above my pelvis too much and he couldn't tell for sure. Keep in mind he's trying to do this while I have been sitting for over 30 minutes in a gown on the exam table, after drinking a big glass of chocolate milk, and my stomach is growling and the baby really is bouncing around.

So he ordered an ultrasound immediately, and told us to stay at the hospital after and he will share the results as soon as he gets them. If the head is down, no worries, but if it isn't, then we have options, which all basically end in c-section.

We could go to a specialist in Des Moines or Iowa City who will try to turn the baby, but it may not work, and they may need to do an emergency c-section. Or, we just schedule a c-section here in town at 39 weeks.

I guess we'll know more tomorrow. I hope Babycue is doing what he/she is supposed to.
